Sausage Art
Hyper-Realistic Acrylic Body Painting by Alexa Meade
American artist Alexa Meade, has perfected the art of making real subjects look like still life - by painting directly onto her models with a background behind, creating an ingenious illusion. The final result leaves the subject appearing two-dimensional.

Formerly working as a press intern on the Obama campaign, Meade has had no formal painting education.

“Spending my formative years immersed in the world of politicians and PR led to a fascination with the possibilities of repackaging source texts and adding superficial modifications that would profoundly alter perception,” Meade said.

“In my current work, I construct and then photograph ephemeral installation sets that feature an assemblage of found objects and live models, which I have covered in layers of acrylic paint”.

“I paint the surfaces of the human subjects, the material objects, and the architecture of the installations so as to collapse the subject, foreground and background into one continuous plane”.

Duzzle Art by Doug Powell
Artist Doug Powell uses thousands of puzzle pieces to assemble these mosaic portraits.
He has been experimenting with random puzzle pieces from jigsaw puzzles since 2001 and has been creating detailed mosaic portraits of the human face since 2007.
Doug claims that he has an inventory of over a half million puzzle pieces that would be enough to fill an average sized above ground pool. He doesn’t paint any of the pieces, but many are cut and shaped to offer more detail in the project.
